Walking over the bridge will take you to the 4D cinema, which is also one of the highlights of the park.

To cover all the attractions you would need 2-3 days to spend. Though the admission fee is 10 Yuan, it is better you bring in 200 Yuan extra as every ride needs about 20-50 Yuan or more extra. You have to wait for your chance to get on the rides.
